There’s a lot of talk right now about the change that is coming to transportation at Disney Springs. Soon bus riders will be required to have a hotel, dining, or activities reservation to take Disney transportation from Disney Springs. This isn’t really a change, Disney is just going to enforce a policy that is already in place. According to the Walt Disney World website:
Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel may take advantage of complimentary transportation by Disney bus, monorail or boat, as parking may be limited. Many area accommodations also provide or arrange transportation to and from Disney Springs.
